History Recap / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E21Hearthbreakers

* GiftGivingGaffe: Spike feigns excitement when he opens his present from Rarity to see that she's given him a book.

* TwentyPercentMoreAwesome: Pinkie Pie calls her family and Applejack’s family’s joint Hearth’s Warming Day party “the most funtacular thing you can think of, now multiply that times infinity!”

-->'''Pinkie Pie:''' Number of Apples times number of Pies is 24 minus my pre-existing friendships plus one for Maud and you makes five from 24 is...19 new friendships!

* PerfectlyCromulentWord: When trying to create a new word for how happy she is, Pinkie Pie comes up with “rooftastic” - meaning she’s so happy she wants to get on the roof and announce it to everyone.

* PunBasedTitle: A play on “heartbreaker” and “hearth”.

* JerkassRealization: Downplayed. While Applejack was more Innocently Insensitive than a full-on Jerkass, she realizes that the Pie family has their own important reasons for their Hearth’s Warming traditions and Applejack was too focused on how different they are from her family’s to notice.

* AppliedMathematics: Pinkie's figuring on how many new friendships will result from the Apple and Pie families becoming friends.

* BigNo: Limestone Pie lets out one after Holder's Boulder fell off from the earthquake to land in the quarry.

* DirtyOldWoman: Granny Smith wonders if the Choosing Stone could hook her up with somepony.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Applejack thinks her family's traditions are more enjoyable than the Pies' and puts together a jubilant celebration to demonstrate. Not only are the Pies flabbergasted and outraged (Limestone in particular since Applejack's decorations clutter up the farm), but she ends up accidentally sending the Pies' cherished Holder's Bolder tumbling into a quarry.

* SpeakInUnison: Applejack and Pinkie do this on two separate occasions. The first time it ends with a unison StopCopyingMe.

* PeekABangs: Marble Pie has her mane covering half of her face, further cementing her ShrinkingViolet personality.

* ForgotToMindTheirHead: Applejack is looking for the obsidian stone Limestone Pie has hidden somewhere in a crystal mine with a low ceiling. She clonks her head from straightening up too fast when Pinkie Pie calls for her attention.
* FourLinesAllWaiting: In this case, used to help conserve interactions between 10 different characters, as [[https://derpiboo.ru/1062990 noted by Nick]]. He created the four main groupings and kept them mostly separate as to balance all the characters in the otherwise short show.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Limestone can easily be mistaken for a boy, with her very gravely sounding voice, gruff behavior, and non-indicative name, as long as you don't remember Pinkie previously talking about only having sisters.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Limestone and Marble were interchangeable in season 1 and most supplementary materials but here they become a GrumpyBear and a ShrinkingViolet respectively.

** In Pinkie's flashback in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E23TheCutieMarkChronicles The Cutie Mark Chronicles]]", Limestone is seen glaring at Pinkie with a rather grumpy expression. Indeed, she turns out to be a [[GrumpyBear grumpy, territorial mare]].

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* GrumpyBear: Limestone Pie. Gruff, bad-tempered and easily angered.

* MiniMe: It's revealed in this episode that there's a tradition for ponies to hang up "Hearth's Warming dolls" in their likeness over the fireplace for Hearth's Warming Eve. Pinkie Pie's family also do this, though they make there's out of rock.

* IHaveTheHighGround: Pinkie Pie jumps twice on top of Holder's Boulder to make announcements, despite Limestone scolding her for it every time.

It's Hearth's Warming time again, and everypony is getting in the spirit. This year, Applejack and Pinkie Pie's families are going to spend the holiday at the Pie family's rock farm. Before departing, Pinkie is surprised that Twilight and Spike are exchanging presents the night before Hearth's Warming, and Twilight explains she and Spike have done that every year as tradition since moving to Ponyville. Later on the train, Pinkie is excited since it'll mean both families get to spend their traditions together, and by the way she describes them, they have a lot in common with the Apple family. Applejack and Apple Bloom, in particular, are looking forward to sharing all of the typical Hearth's Warming Eve traditions with the Pies.

* ShipperOnDeck: Pinkie does this to Big Mac and Marble Pie. Though not much throughout the episode so it's up to...

* ShipperOnDeck: Pinkie does this to Big Mac and Marble Pie.

** Pinkie's family appear to be based on Quakers. They live in a quarry. Think about that.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Applejack's sudden introduction of her Apple family traditions and planting the flagpole on a fault line causes an earthquake that makes Holder's Boulder fall off into a quarry below.
* NotSoDifferent:

Overnight, Applejack redecorates the farm to match their own traditions, but they're met with horror by the Pies. In particular, Applejack placed a flag pole on a fault line, causing Holder's Boulder to fall into the quarry below, causing an angry Limestone Pie to demand that the Apples leave. Applejack apologizes to Pinkie Pie for messing things up as her family leaves on the train. While on the way back, a present from Pinkie Pie hits Applejack in the head. This causes Applejack to realize that they should have been explaining their traditions with the Pies rather than trying to force them to accept them, thus creating new traditions between their families. The Apples have the train stop, and quickly head back to the rock farm, where the Pies are trying to get Holder's Boulder back up the quarry. With the Apples' help, they place the boulder back where it belongs, and start sharing their traditions with each other, coming to an understanding.

* ArtShift: The sequence where Applejack explains the origins of Hearth's Warming Eve.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Holder's Boulder or [[http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Over-the-shoulder+boulder+holder boulder holders]]?

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: From the Apple family side, you can't blame them for being a little put off by the Pies' customs since it's a bit unnatural to them. Likewise, the Pies being put off by what the Apples consider a traditional Hearth's Warming Eve since they've never bothered to celebrate it like that. So neither side really jump at the traditions right away. In the end, though, both sides manage to come to a compromise and mix both traditions.

* AnAesop: Strange as they may seem, there's a meaning behind every holiday tradition.

* ForgotToMindTheirHead: In the crystal mine, as Applejack is looking for the obsidian stone somewhere with a low ceiling, she clonks her head when Pinkie Pie calls for her attention.
